"She really disqualified herself to be the speaker," Gingrich said on "Good Morning America" today. "She has a unique responsibility for national security. ... She made this allegation that smears everyone who's trying to defend her."

Leaving her in her place would be "very dangerous for the country," Gingrich added.

The Republican National Committee has even produced a video ridiculing the press conference where Pelosi accused the CIA of lying. Set to the James Bond theme music, the video picks on several of Pelosi's statements and ends with the line "Lack of leadership. Democrats galore."

Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., also echoed Gingrich's statements.

"For the person second in line to be president of the United States to be making this type of charge is really shameful, and to me, crosses any boundary I know," he said.

Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, also joined the bandwagon, saying Pelosi is "actively undermining our national security," and demanded that she provide proof that she was misled.

House minority leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Pelosi should either produce evidence that the CIA was indeed lying, or apologize.

"She owes our intelligence community an apology," Boehner said in a Fox interview. "I think the ball is in the speaker's court. I think she needs to come forward, either present evidence or do an apology and let's get this behind us."

But unlike Gingrich, Boehner didn't call for Pelosi's resignation.

Democrats -- including the most powerful person in the party, President Obama -- have thrown their support behind the embattled speaker.
